​Later we're going to one of the most popular tourist destinations, Benidorm on the Costa Blanca

Benidorm
​ is one of the biggest and most famous tourist destination in Spain. A giant rock that towers over the sea forms the symbolic centre of the bay. Inland the city is surrounded by tall mountains that protect it from any sudden wind or climate changes from the north. It's an exceptionally good geographical location which means it has a unique natural microclimate, characterized by a constant air and water temperature without any clouds. Thanks to these weather conditions Benidorm receives guests all year round. White sand, blue sea and sun throughout the year - what could be a better holiday location?
       
The majority of the streets in Benidorm have historical names such as Avenida Uruguay, Avenida del Mar Mediterráneo,​ and La Calle de Pekín. Along the beach there is a charming promenade with palm trees where you can sit down and relax in a cafe, pub or restaurant close to the beach.
​It's like a paradise with the crystal clear waters and white sand!


Benidorm is the Ibiza of the Peninsula - ​ it's the city of parties and holidays throughout the year! It's a city created for fun and leisure that originally started out as a small fishing village in the 60's.
​Good weather is guarenteed with great beaches and the best clubs such as Pacha, Penelope, KU and around 20 more.

​It's the second city in the world with the most skyscrapers ​ coming in just after New York. Among the skyline is the Hoetl Bali which is almost 200 metres high with 52 floors and since 2006 has been thetallest building in Europe. It has two panoramic lifts and impressive views from the viewpoint at the top which you can visit. Each year there is a competition to see who can climb the stairs in the quickest time and the record is 4 and a half minutes!
